Note:

1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed above or their exact equivalent be used on the

vehicle.

2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid gasket.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions at all times.

3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and moisture from the connecting surfaces before

applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.

4. LOCTITE 515 and LOCTITE 518 harden upon contact with a metal surface.

Do not apply LOCTITE 515 or LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces having a clearance of
greater than 0.25 mm (0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.

SERVICING

Servicing refers to general maintenance procedures to be performed by qualified service personnel.

MODEL IDENTIFICATION

Engine Serial Number

The engine number is stamped on the front left hand side
of the cylinder body.

AIR CLEANER

Element cleaning procedures will vary according to the
condition of the element.

Oil Wetted (Viscous Type) Paper Element

The air cleaner has an oil wetted paper element. No
servicing is required until the replacement interval is
reached. Never attempt to clean the element, no matter
how dirty may appear. The element is designed to provide
normal filtering efficiency until it becomes due for
replacement. Refer to the Item “Service and Maintenance”
in the Owner’s and Driver’s Manual for general service
information.

Dust Fouled Element

Rotate the element with your hand while applying
compressed air to the inside of the element. This will blow
the dust free.
Compressed air pressure must not exceed 7 kg/cm

2

(100

psi/690 kPa).

Carbon and Dust Fouled Element

1. Prepare a cleaning solution of Isuzu Genuine Element

Cleaner (Donaldson D1400) diluted with water.

2. Submerge the element in the solution for twenty

minutes.

ENGINE MECHANICAL 6A – 25

3. Remove the element from the solution and rinse it well

with running water.

Water pressure must not exceed 2.8 kg/cm

2

(40

psi/270 kPa).

4. Dry the element in a well ventilated area.

An electric fan will hasten drying.

Note:
Do not use compressed air or an open flame to dry the
element quickly. Damage to the element will result.
It will usually take two or three days for the element to
dry completely. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a
spare on hand to use in the interim.

LUBRICATING SYSTEM

Main Oil Filter (Cartridge Type Paper Element)
Replacement Procedure

1. Loosen the drain plug to drain the engine oil.
2. Wait a few minutes and then retighten the drain plug.
3. Loosen the used oil filter by turning it counterclockwise

with a filter wrench.

4. Clean the oil cooler fitting face. This will allow the new

oil filter to seat properly.

5. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
6. Turn in the new oil filter until the filter O-ring is fitted

against the sealing face.

7. Use the filter wrench to turn in the filter an additional 1

and 1/8 turns.
Filter Wrench: 5-8840-0200-0 (4JB1T, 4JG2T, 4JA1T,

4JA1TC, 4JH1TC)

: 5-8840-0201-0 (4JA1)

8. Check the engine oil level and replenish to the

specified level if required.
